Abstract

In der einschlägigen Literatur wird in der Regel das Bild stark formalisierter und methodengestützter Innovationsprozesse aufgezeichnet, das primär für große Unternehmen zutreffend erscheint. Inwieweit sich diese Vorstellung auch auf Organisationen geringerer Größe übertragen lässt, steht im Fokus der vorliegenden Studie. In einer explorativen Befragung werden der Methodeneinsatz sowie die Stärken bzw. Schwächen bei Innovationsprozessen kleiner und mittlerer Unternehmen (KMU) untersucht. Das zentrale Ergebnis ist, dass sich das Innovationsmanagement in KMU häufig informal, wenig standardisiert und unter geringem Einsatz von Methoden vollzieht. Dies ist insbesondere in den frühen Phasen des Innovationsprozesses festzustellen. Frühe Defizite im Innovationsmanagement setzen sich häufig in den nachfolgenden Phasen im Prozessablauf fort.
